Mm, I think they fit given a bit of persuasion.. I seem to remember an article in the DIY forum showing how to do this, although it may have been on a Mk3. Same principle should apply though..

you don't have to cut a mk 2 golf big bumper to fit on a squareback i
did it a couple of years ago .we
changed the golf iron for the polo one, turned the side clips round the opposite way to what they are now. had to pack out the mounts where it bolts on ,to clear the rear panel it's fiddley but fairly easy.with both bumpers off you will see what you have to do 86c may have a better memory than me ,he helped me do it

Tarquin, do you have a picture that takes in the whole of that car with the big bumpers? I'm just trying to get an idea of what it would look like should I ever decide to do the swap :)

full frontal but i can't post it on here it's on a thread on porka
http://www.porka.net/modules.php?name=X ... &tid=22178

the pic frem the side shows it with a mk3 polo bumper
as when they did the feature we hadn't found a golf rear
bumper(ended up spraying an oak green bumper red )
